Next to Earth, no other planet has fascinated people as much as Mars, the Red Planet, one and a half times the distance from the Sun as we. Although little was actually known about Mars before the Space Age, the notion that astronomers such as Percival Lowell saw markings on Mars that reminded them of canals led to a ficticious hope that this meant (human) life may be present. Mars figured in several classic science fiction stories, such as H.G. Wells "War of the Worlds". Then, in 1962 a space probe sent back the first pictures of the martian surface and the natural wonders of this planet soon outweighed those of imaginative writers. The next six pages will summarize both what we know and what we are still learning. We start with several good images of the planet in different half sphere positions and then recount the major trips to Mars by various spacecraft.
We switch now to the region beyond
Earth, as we explore the Mysterious Planet Mars, recently upgraded in interest
because of the discovery of possible evidence of single-celled, organic matter
(life?) in a meteorite (found in the Antarctic), believed to have been ejected
into deep space from an impact on ancient Martian crust.
Mars has always been especially intriguing to the peoples of Earth. It has captured our imagination for many reasons, two of which are the once-believed speculation that it held intelligent life because of so-called "canals" and then the famous book by H.G. Wells, "The War of the Worlds", that had martians invading Earth (this was the basis for the "infamous" radio program by Orson Welles that was so realistic that people panicked during the broadcast). Mars is about half the size of Earth, evident in this picture in which the two planets are shown side by side at the same size scale: After the Earth and its Moon, Mars has become the most intensely studied solar system body because of its similarity to Earth itself (but as a planet that has lost most of its water) and therefore is a candidate for once or still active biological material. Spacecraft today are orbiting it, surface rovers are planned for it, and NASA - as well as the whole world community - is hoping for enough evidence of its special features to warrant a long-term program culminating in Man's setting foot on its surface. Another reason for the attention given to Mars is that it has many features explainable by extrapolation of geologic studies of Earth (and some features without terrestrial counterparts -- and these are easily "seeable" because of total absence of oceanic and vegetation cover. Here are four Web sites to consult if you want a quick overview of Mars or images to download: (1), (2), (3), (4)
Also there is a NASA JPL video that describes how geologists use comparative planetology methods (based on familiarity with the Earth) to study, in this case, Mars. The speaker is a former colleague of the writer (NMS), Dr. James Garvin who is now Project Scientist for Mars Exploration at NASA Headquarters. Access it through the JPL Video Site, then the pathway Format-->Video -->Search to bring up the list that includes "Finding Mars on Earth", December 2, 2003. To start it, once found, click on the blue RealVideo link. Mars's mean diameter (6780 km [4875
miles]) is 0.53 that of Earth, about
double that of the Moon, and has about 1/10th its mass. ; its volume is about 1/8th that of Earth. The planet, fourth from the
Sun, has has a mean density of 3.93 g/cm3 compared with
Earth at 5.52 g/cm3; it likely has a much small inner core that may be iron-poor, as borne out by the lack of a distinct magnetic field.
A martian
day is almost the same as a terrestrial day - it rotates once every 24 hours and 37 minutes (Earth time). Mars takes 1.86 Earth years (685 days) to
complete its orbit around the Sun. Its orbit is distinctly elliptical (1.38
A.U. perihelion to 1.67 A.U. aphelion; average distance of 1.52 A.U.). Its rotational
axis is tilted 25°, similar to Earth, which causes Mars to have summer and winter seasons. Mars surface temperatures range from -140° to +20° C. Look below at a beautiful, full-face
image of a Martian hemisphere, which should make it obvious why Mars is also
known as the Red Planet. This mosaic was constructed from reprocessed Viking
images. Two conspicuous features, described later, are the huge gash across
the face, known as Valles Marineris, and the three great volcanoes in the Tharsis
group, on the left. Compare this with a single (not mosaicked) image of a face of Mars, taken through the Hubble Space Telescope. Then, look at these three hemispherical
views of Mars taken by the electronic camera system on the Hubble Space Telescope
(HST) through filters that allow close approximations to true color. The blues
along the limbs are somewhat artificial.
A more recent Hubble image has been processed to fully contrast the color differences; thus:
19-33: From these four full face views, what would you deduce about martian rocks? ANSWER
In late August of 2003, Mars became a "hot item" in TV and Newspaper accounts. Mars' orbit is such that most of the time it lies beyond 160 million km (100 million miles) from Earth. But there are rare times when the two planets positions in their orbits place them much closer together. On August 27, 2003 Mars and Earth were at the closest distance (55,690,000 km or 34,500,000 miles) apart. This had not happened until about 60000 years ago but will happen in about 600 years into the third Millenium. Thousands of amateur telescopes, 100s of Observatory telescopes, and the Hubble Space Telescope all trained on the Red Planet (which was just less than Venus as the brightest object in the Sky) and many photographs and electronic images were taken. The one below was made by the Hubble Space Telescope in orbit :
In several previous sections of this Tutorial, We have shown images from Digital Globe's Quickbird-2, capable of better than 1 meter of ground resolution. During Mars' close passage, the sensors on Quickbird were turned outward to capture best resolution (67 km) images of the Red Planet. Compare the two below (on the evening of August 26 and midday of the 27th, when the planet had made a quarter rotation) with those of the HST - this should help to bolster the claim of high quality for the Earth Observing satellites like Quickbird and IKONOS.
One of the best images made from an Earth-ground based telescope was acquired by the UKIRT (United Kingdom InfraRed Telescope, located in Hawaii)
For amateur astronomers, the summer months of 2003 were a series of "field days". Here is a set of 7 Mars pictures taken through a 10 inch telescope beginning on June 20 (1) and continuing through August 6 (7).
The overall surface state of Mars, judging from these full planet face views, is that it consists of three major color states: 1) the predominant reddish colored surface, which is now known to be regions in which the rocks, soils and dust are strongly oxidized into phases consisting of hematite, possibly maghemite (the γ polymorph of Fe2O3 and similar minerals [including the group of hydrated iron oxides going under the name of "limonite", if water at and beneath the surface could "weather" the hematite]); 2) the dark bluish to blackish surface, presumably bedrock with less iron discoloration, and 3) the whitish areas around the poles, identified as a mix of water and carbon dioxide (the outer coating). The second color phase implies that the surface is bedrock with insufficient iron oxide dust cover to significantly alter the color depicted; this suggests much less onsite alteration of the basalt and the transient nature of dust cover as martian winds remove much of previously deposited red dust (but some may be cyclically deposited during strong dust storms [see next page]). An an example of the second color phase, look at the Syrtis Major physiographic region. It probably is volcanic crust, likely basalt. It size, however, varies from time to time because winds carry red dust back and forth over its boundaries.
The iron rust responsible for the reds and oranges on much of the martian surface is believed to have largely formed early in the history of the planet when its atmosphere may have been different and water in the air was more abundant. In the last billion years or so, the martian atmosphere has been cold and dry. Under these conditions UV radiation bombardment causes a thin top layer in the soil and rock enriched in the oxygen anion ("superoxide", an oxidant) which is capable of further release of iron from mineral by oxidation. However, this is a much slower process and probably doesn't account for most of the iron coloration. One consequence of superoxides is to create an environment that is anathema (destructive) to bacteria and other microbes. This would mean that life right at the surface cannot tolerate these conditions and, if present today, must dwell 10 centimeters or more below the topmost soil layers (life possibilities on Mars is discussed on page 19-13).
Mars was the first extraterrestrial planet mapped in some detail, solely from telescope observations. Thus, in 1881, Giovanni Schiaparelli published the map below, in which many of the features he named are still known as such in today's nomenclature. Although these names are illegible in the figure below, we reproduce this map for its historical importance:
Sir Percival Lowell, using a telescope he built on a hill in Flagstaff, Arizona, extended this mapping. His 1909 map, below this paragraph, shows are large number of nearly straight lines, which Schiaparelli had called "canali", that he "thought" he could see. This led to the widespread belief into the second half of the 20th Century that there might be canals on Mars used by its "inhabitants" to transport water. Thus was born the legend of Martians (e.g. H.G. Wells "War of the Worlds" brought these creatures by spaceship to Earth, only to succumb to the adverse biological conditions on our planet). These canals, of course, disappeared when the good views shown above were obtained.
It is difficult to reproduce on a Net site a modern map that shows all of Mars with its many features identified. We will try with this simplifiedversion:
We recognize the difficulty of familiarizing yourself with so many feature names and their locations. However, from this list find the following: Olympus Mons; Arsial Mons; Pavonis Mons; Valles Marineris; Alba Terra; Arabia Terra; Noachis Terra; Argyre Planitia; Chryse Planitia; Hellas Planitia; Elysium Planitia; Terra Cimmeria.
The above map is hard to read. To assist you in finding some of the locations that will be called out in this subsection dealing with Mars, we have added a hidden page accessed by clicking on Here; this page contains three more maps enlarged enough to display readable names of major features.
We now know a great deal about Mars
from flybys, orbiting surveyors, and landings. The first flyby, by Mariner 4,
on July 14, 1965, produced 22 images covering roughly 1% of the planet. Here is one of those TV views and below it is almost the same area covered by the TV aboard Mariner 9 (see below) six years later - a good measure of technological progress:
6 and 7 passed Mars on July 31 and August 5, 1969, together obtaining 199 images
that extended coverage to about 10% of the total surface. A typical Mariner 6 image shows frost-covered
parts of the south polar region, with dark craters, furrows, and pits. A quantum leap in coverage followed
the first successful orbiting of another planet, when Mariner 9 arrived on November
13, 1971. Returning more than 7,300 panchromatic images, a wide-angle TV camera,
capable of 1-3 km (0.6-1.9 mi) resolution, mapped almost the entire surface,
while a narrow-angle TV camera imaged selected areas at 100 m (328 ft) resolution.
Mariner 9 also carried an IR radiometer, an IR interferometer spectrometer,
and a UV spectrometer. Here is an artist's depiction of this first truly successful visitor to the Red Planet:
The imaged surface qualifies Mars as one of the most diverse and spectacular planetary bodies in the solar system. Lacking vegetation
and water cover, the easily seen geologic features were often grandiose in scale
and sometimes unique. As with most extraterrestrial objects, their interpretation
by astrogeologists started by comparing or contrasting features with those known
on Earth. Martian features often required innovative explanations. Two typical Mariner 9 views, as mosaics,
show fractures, erosion (stream?) channels, and craters. One of the grand surprises revealed during Mariner 9's passage was the largest volcano in the Solar System - named Olympus Mons - which previously had only been a suspicious bump in telescope photos. Shown here is one frame, in raw unprocessed format, which displays a part of this huge volcanic structure; a mosaic made from three additional frames is shown on page 19-12. The Russians launched Mars 2 and
3 probes to that planet in 1971, but acquired only limited data, mainly on the
magnetic field. In 1973, the former Soviets sent three more spacecraft to the
Red Planet. In March of 1974, Mars 4 failed to orbit the planet, but Mars 5
did, long enough to return data, including images during 10 of its 20 orbits.
Mars 6 successfully descended through the thin Mrtian atmosphere but failed
during the last second before touchdown. A quantum leap in the U.S. exploration
of Mars began on August 20, 1975, and September 9, 1975, with the launches of
Vikings 1 and 2 respectively. Their Orbiter components began circling the planet in late June and early August of 1976, coinciding roughly with America's Bicentennial
Celebration. Each carried two identical vidicon (TV) cameras, capable of color
imaging (as composites of black and white images taken through color filters)
and acquiring stereo scenes at 100 m (328 ft) resolution. They also bore a thermal-mapping,
infrared spectrometer and a second IR spectrometer designed to detect atmospheric
water. JPL has produced a Mars video that summarizes visits to the planet prior to 2000. It includes a segment dealing with Viking. Access through the JPL Video Site, then the pathway Format-->Video -->Search to bring up the list that includes "Viking Legacy and Mars Exploration", July 12, 2001. To start it, once found, click on the blue RealVideo link. As an example of a Viking image, consider this Viking 1 view of Tyrrhena Patera, a volcano built up from both flows and abundant ash, located near the Hellas Basin in the southern hemisphere. As had been observed earlier in the Mariner 9 mission, the martian surface and atmosphere are actually dynamic. This Viking-2 image shows a large dust storm: The two Viking images below show color
versions of the Volcano Tyrrhena. The first image does not give a sense of relief
but when we confound topographic information with this image, a perspective
view, marked by strong vertical exaggeration, gives a sense of its height: 19-34:
Critique the above two views of Tyrrhena, specifically in regards to misconceptions
they might give about martian topography. ANSWER
Both Vikings also transported separable
landing vehicles that descended by parachute throughout the atmosphere. Viking 1 Lander touched down on July 20, 1976, and Viking 2 Lander on September 3. As with the Moon, a chief concern during the touchdowns was the nature of the surface which could be a depression (e.g., a crater wall) or covered by scattered boulders and other debris such as seen here in a view of one of the sites obtained by a later orbiting satellite.:
So far, most landings have avoided these pitfalls (the loss of Beagle2 from the Mars Express mission is unexplained). The first ever image (black and white) of the martian surface from the surface is this:
Both TVs also successfully transmitted surface views in color, of the immediate
ground, up to the visible horizon.
The two Viking Landers were exceptional ground-truth devices. These panoramas
from them reveal a red iron-coated surface, consisting of rocks (the largest
> 2 m [6.6 ft]) mixed with sand and dust, some piled into incipient dunes.
In other views, some rocks look like vesicular basalt. Note the yellow-brown
tones in the lower, dusty layers of the sky's rarified gas envelope (mainly
carbon dioxide). This stationary observatory was also equipped with magnets,
a seismometer, an x-ray fluorescence spectrometer (that receives samples from
a movable scoop), a miniature meteorological station, and three experiments
seeking signs of metabolic action (mainly, as gases released or absorbed)
by biogenic matter (none found). 19-35: Using
the left (or upper) of the Viking surface pictures, comment on the conditions above the
martian surface. ANSWER After the Vikings, the resumption of martian exploration was vested in the Mars Observer but this spacecraft failed enroute to Mars in 1993. The next visit was by the Mars Global Surveyor, launched in 1996, which orbits the planet taking pictures up to 3 meters in resolution.Three of its prime instruments are the MOC (Mars Orbiting Camera), the MOLA (Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter), and TES (Thermal Emission Spectrometer). This spacecraft is described on page 19-13 but as a preview sample here is an image that shows at high resolution the interior wall of a small impact crater within the very large crater Newton; the series of channel strips running down the side has been interpreted as evidence for subsurface water emerging at some depth along the wall and eroding these rills (see page 19-13 for details). The Pathfinder mission, run by JPL, landed a Rover on the surface in 1997 which conducted a series of physical and chemical experiments. Then, in October 2001, the Mars Odyssey mission reached the planet and is continuing to gather data with THEMIS, its thermal emission spectrometer, and GRS, a Gamma-Ray Spectrometer, and other instruments. In the first years of the 21st Century, several more U.S. and International spacecraftm both orbiters and landers, have been sent to Mars. Those that were successful are described on pages 19-13ff.

We have reservations for dinner the week of Thanksgiving, and I am wavering, thinking the food might actually be bad enough to make it not worth going to with our five year old. I've been checking for a breakfast time every day, hoping to solve the problem that way, but no luck. Please tell me we won't starve!
We ate there in June. I thought the food was very good. We were a part of 4 adults and 1 child, and we all thought the food was awesome. The shrimp appetizer was one of my favorite things I ate during the entire trip!
We love the dinner at CRT. We have had breakfast there a couple of times but we much prefer the dinner there instead. The beef tenderloin is really good along with the Castle Salad appetizer. I always get the trio of desserts too. Dinner there has become a must do for us. I don't think you will be disappointed with the food there, however here is some thrown your way in hopes you get the breakfast ADR that you want.
I had dinner there a few weeks ago. The food was fine...I had the salad, chicken pasta, and dessert trio. The salad was pretty ordinary, except it did have huge Parmesan shavings. The chicken pasta was good - lots of chicken. The dessert trio had a nice variety.
We had dinner there in October and it was great. The beef tenderloin was really good. We have also had breakfast there in the past and I like the dinner better.

Hello, I have a google nexus one, unlocked. Does it require rooting - like all other locked phones do? The 'about phone' says it is 2.2. How do I know if it is FRF85B or any other latest? The build version is : 2.16.405, Kernel version is 22.214.171.124.
Scroll to the bottom of the "about phone" screen - your build number is the last item. You don't have to root your phone if you don't want to. Current ota update is version 2.3.4 so your phone needs updating (unless you want to root in which case it seems easier to do from older versions, i.e.super one click doesn't work on gb).
If you want root access then you'll have to do something to your system - unlocked simply means that the bootloader is unlocked, allowing you to flash unsigned roms. The standard android rom from google does not include the software you need to run as root, but it doesn't try to stop you either. Which means that rooting a nexus phone is a pretty simple exercise, and can be done using the standard tools. You can root by flashing cyanogenmod or one of the other pre-rooted roms. You can root your current stock system by flashing the su application, which is the application that is used to run apps as root. Just download the su.zip for your 2.2 system (do a search on xda-developers) and flash it. You'll also want to download busybox from the market and install that, since many of the root programs like Titanium Backup also use that as well. Actually I think that Titanium Backup installs busybox if it's missing, so that may be the way to go.
Thanks folks. That was helpful. My question was also about, does an unlocked phone really needs to be rooted in order to gain su access? My impression was it wasn't - since the phone wasn't tied to any carrier.
As I understand it the terminology is this... An "unlocked" phone is one which is free from carrier restrictions i.e. you can buy and use a sim card from whichever network you like (in the UK, at least). The Nexus One was always unlocked; it was sold that way, so if you were referring specifically to a Nexus One then "unlocked" may well mean that the bootloader is unlocked. (as mp says above). Then there is "unlocked bootloader" - probably best to do your own search if you aren't sure what the bootloader is (xda has a 101 guide, but the clearest explanation I found was Ryan's on Tested.com) "Rooted" and having superuser rights/admin are the same thing.
There are a couple of flavors of "locked" which is what may be confusing you. There is the carrier lock, where the phone is tied to SIMs for a specific carrier. Have an AT&T carrier-locked phone and pop in a T-Mobile SIM and you get nothing. The websites you see advertising "unlocked" phones are advertising phones that have had the carrier lock removed. AFAIK none of the Nexus phones have a carrier lock, you can use a T-Mobile Nexus S on an AT&T network, though of course you don't get 3G access because the frequencies are different. But voice, 2G, and WIFI works fine. The other flavor of "locked" that you'll see bandied about around here is the bootloader lock. This prevents the bootloader from using unauthorized ROMs. The Nexus 1 and Nexus S both have a bootloader lock, like every other Android phone out there. As shipped, they will only install official ROMs from Google. However, there is a program that ships with the Android SDK that will remove the ROM lock from a Nexus phone. It will void your warranty, however. Once the bootloader is unlocked (at boot your phone will show a picture of an opened lock) then you can proceed to root your phone. su access *is* rooted, it doesn't really have anything to do with the carrier lock or bootloader lock. su is the program on unix and variants(Linux, BSD, Android) that switches you into the root account. There's a minor complication on Android, which is that many of the programs that say they require root actually need a bit more than that, they often need an auxiliary program called busybox installed as well. Busybox provides utilities for root programs, and can be downloaded for free from the market. A lot of people aren't clear about the distinction between the unlocked bootloader and root access, and refer to them interchangeably, which adds to the confusion. If they're using something like an HTC or Motorola phone and can't get root access without a fork bomb exploit, then they probably unlocked and rooted their phone at the same time using a one-click rooting program, so they probably don't even realize that there is a difference between the two. But they are definitely two different things, you can have a phone with an unlocked bootloader but not be rooted, and you can have a rooted phone with a locked bootloader.

3 rescued after Montana avalanche
Three people have been found alive after an avalanche roared into the western Montana city of Missoula and destroyed a house.
Police say an elderly husband and wife and an 8-year-old boy were rescued after the avalanche Friday.
No one else was reported missing.
All three were taken to a hospital. Their conditions weren't immediately known but police say the man was talking to rescuers.
The elderly couple lived in the house that was destroyed. Police weren't sure if the boy lived there or elsewhere.
The avalanche slid down Mount Jumbo into the northeast Missoula neighborhood at about 4 p.m.
Authorities say avalanche conditions around the city remain dangerous. Police are asking residents of vulnerable neighborhoods to consider leaving but aren't requiring or recommending evacuations.

Someone You Should Know: Jazz Guitarist Priest
Featured & Trending:
Latest News Headlines:
CHICAGO (CBS) – He's a Catholic priest who finds spiritual fulfillment and strength by playing jazz guitar.
Father John Moulder is someone you should know, CBS 2's Harry Porterfield reports.
Moulder, an arch chaplain for the Chicago Archdiocese, is a world-class jazz musician.
"It's one of the truly life-giving aspects in my life," he says. "It has been a great comfort many times. … After I've been composing for a while, I feel just filled with life and I feel that's a grace, that somehow the spirit is very much involved in that."
Moulder demonstrated his considerable skill in the sanctuary of St. Gregory the Great on Chicago's North Side. But those visiting the Green Mill in the Uptown area may also see him there.
He has created a jazz festival with musicians and club owners donating their services and facilities to raise money for people suffering from hunger. It starts March 7 and is called the Chi Town Jazz Festival.
Some may consider jazz to be sacrilegious, but Moulder thinks it has redeeming virtues.
"I go back to that quote by Louie Armstrong who said, 'What we play is life,'" Moulder says. "So, jazz does have sensual to the spiritual and the transcendent. So, it all finds a place in jazz."
The Chi Town Jazz Festival runs through March 11. Click here for more information.

Demons aim to keep tormenting SLC
Northwestern St. has been to finals 4 years in a row
The Southland Conference has been flirting with an all-in tournament, one in which every conference basketball team makes the postseason.
But 11 Southland coaches might be against that idea for one good reason -- Northwestern State.
It doesn't seem to matter where the Demons finish, as long as they make the tournament's field of eight. They could be at the top of the conference, third or even fifth. But they find a way to the conference final, getting there four years in a row and six of the past nine seasons.
So, even after losing their two leading scorers from last season, even after losing lean long-armed forward Trey Gilder and his 16.4 points and 6.2 rebounds a game, there is optimism among the Demons that this season will provide more of the same.
"Our kids have a tremendous belief that we will be there," NSU coach Mike McConathy said. "We've been able to keep that engine running. Believing in one another and the team concept are the reasons we have been successful."
Credit the share-the-wealth system. It's routine for McConathy to trot out 11 or 12 players during a game. He utilizes his bench and divvies the minutes to keep everyone fresh.
That wears down opponents during games. It keeps the Demons rested throughout the season. So there's a little extra spring to the step come March and a little less worry when players leave.
That again is the plan. McConathy said he might keep a tighter rein on the bench in November and December, but anticipates bringing out his own all-in system -- nearly everyone getting game time -- when conference games start in January.
"It's all about how we get through November and December and have positive vibes after that," McConathy said. "Early on we won't (shuffle) as much. But, by March, those freshmen are sophomores because they've had the chance to play. If they don't play, they're still freshmen."
And McConathy likes that experience come tournament time.

The Columbia Public School District recently admitted six severely mentally ill kindergartners, one of whom has already tried to take his own life five times, said Lynn Barnett, assistant superintendent for student support services.
"The mental health services have dwindled drastically, and there are not only children dealing with depression, anxiety and attention deficit disorder, but now we have children dealing with eating disorders and substance abuse," Barnett said. "These are issues with all children; there is not one particular demographic, and we don't have the funds or services to help with these problems."
Barnett, Juvenile Justice Center superintendent Kirk Kipley and St. Francis House Director Lana Jacobs agreed at a Boone County Mental Health Board of Trustees public forum Monday that the need for mental health services in Boone County is increasing while funding remains the same.
"The system is so broken that I'm not sure we can fix it, but we have to make an attempt to fix it," Jacobs said.
Board members have been talking about putting a mental health services tax on the ballot for the past 12 years, and they hope to take what they learned from the forum to start promoting education and change within the community.
Panelists and community members discussed the problems in mental health services that have been the board's focus since it performed a needs assessment in February 2004. The assessment showed where the gaps in mental health services were occurring in Boone County. "The ballot tax is still premature at this point, but we're going to re-evaluate now that the forum is over," said Michele Kennett, who is president of the board. "But there's no plan at this point for the tax."
Barnett, Kipley and Jacobs were among the forum's four panelists who were asked to share their firsthand experiences dealing with the county's mental health needs. Panel members made it clear that it will take more money to provide the mental health services needed in Boone County.
Jacobs said 90 percent of the peopleat St. Francis House are chronically schizophrenic.
"I see mental health care getting worse because there are more people that need help and there's not enough room," Jacobs said. "It takes lots of time and funds to care for them and most people in the community don't realize how much goes into the care."
Kennett said she hopes to get conversations started within the community about solutions.

Sun Myung Moon's Speeches From 2006 |
Address Given At The Groundbreaking Ceremony Of The Gimpo Aviation Industrial Complex Of The Times Aviation Of Korea
Sun Myung Moon
June 10, 2006
[Editor's note] This address was given by the Rev. Dr. Sun Myung Moon at the groundbreaking ceremony of the Gimpo Aviation Industrial Complex of the Times Aviation of Korea, which took place on June 10, 2006.
Respected Governor Hak Gyu Sohn, Honorable Minister Byeong Jik Choo of the Ministry of Construction and Transportation;
Leaders of the Korean Helicopter Industry;
Residents of Gimpo, and distinguished guests from at home and abroad;
And, in particular, Sikorsky executives who have come from overseas to congratulate us on this joyous day!
We are truly grateful to all of you for coming such a distance, in spite of your busy schedules, to attend the groundbreaking ceremony of the Gimpo Aviation Industrial Complex of the Times Aviation of Korea
Furthermore, we would like to express our gratitude once again to all of you, who have made it possible to hold today's groundbreaking ceremony for the Gimpo Aviation Industrial Complex, situated halfway between Incheon International Airport and Gimpo International Airport which was opened more than half a century ago. It is our hope that it will develop into a state-of-the-art aviation industrial complex, both in concept and in reality, through its receiving approval as an industrial complex and being designated as an enterprise drawing foreign investment.
I have dedicated my entire life to teaching the path of "living for the sake of others" through the practice of true love. This is a basic principle that surely applies not only to individuals but to all levels of life -- from the family to the society and to the nation. Early on I had the conviction that my homeland of Korea -- which at the time was suffering in poverty -- would become prosperous and, furthermore, that it would become a nation that could share what it had with the rest of the world. It should be able to contribute spiritually; furthermore it would need a strong foundation of technical engineering skill, and therefore I founded Tongil Heavy Industries Co. Ltd., some forty years ago. The company imported the most advanced automobile technology from German companies and thus laid the foundation for the automobile technology of modern-day Korea.
Pursuing world peace through efforts that reach beyond particular religions and nations, I have dared to initiate the large-scale project of connecting the regions of the world through constructing a tunnel and/or bridge across the Bering Strait between Russia and the United States Through such an undertaking, I am doing my utmost to inspire all technology contribute to the peace and welfare of humankind.
Now that I have concluded 34 years of work away from my homeland of Korea and have returned to my country, I have decided to lay the foundation for aviation technology -- which of all industrial technologies requires the most precision -- so that in the twenty-first century Korea may become a leader in the machinery industry, and, in particular, contribute to the development of the aviation industry. Therefore, I have established the Times Aviation of Korea, and pursued technological cooperation from the Sikorsky Company, which prides itself on having the best helicopter technology in the world.
Henceforth, the Times Aviation of Korea will focus on developing helicopters for transportation of large groups of people, thus to meet public demand, while opening new horizons in the helicopter industry. We expect it will not only revolutionize mass transportation in Korea but will also contribute to improving the quality of life in this country by raising the efficiency of the utilization of its territory.
It is my hope that the Times Aviation of Korea will, through the foundation of the Tongil Group, extend to 180 nations across the world through the realization of an "even distribution of technology" campaign that I have always advocated. This will play an important role in establishing Korea as an industrial power, and thereby contribute greatly to the nation's development as well as to the happiness of all people of the world.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
My efforts for the sake of all humanity's welfare and peace are even now being carried out in various fields.
After inaugurating the Universal Peace Federation in New York, on September 12th last year, I traveled to 120 nations of the world in order to pass on my inaugural message. I proposed that the Universal Peace Federation, in the position of the "Abel UN," should be developed as a new international peace organization. At the same time the United Nations, as a Cain-type institution should be reformed by having a Peace Council, a legislative organization consisting of global religious leaders of the same rank, as members of the current UN Security Council. I am referring to the founding of a Peace Council that will speak not for the interests of a particular nation, as the existing UN representatives do, but that will truly work for the welfare and peace of humanity from an inter-religious and universal perspective.
I am undertaking this awesome project for the sake of peace and for the welfare of humanity. Therefore, people all over the world call me the Peace King and the True Parent of humanity. The Times Aviation of Korea will eventually become a big contributor to fulfill such a universal project.
I extend my gratitude to the government of Gyeong-gi Province and the city of Gimpo, and to the Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Energy and the Ministry of Finance and Economy, and particularly to the Ministry of Construction and Transportation. I would also like to express my deep appreciation for the support of the residents of Gimpo, and last, but not least, for the firm commitment of technological cooperation from the Sikorsky Company.
Thank you.

This study was to validate the feasibility of using clinical 3.0T MRI to monitor the migration of autotransplanted bone marrow (BM)-derived stem-progenitor cells (SPC) to the injured arteries of near-human sized swine for potential cell-based arterial repair.
The study was divided into two phases. For in vitro evaluation, BM cells were extracted from the iliac crests of 13 domestic pigs and then labeled with a T2 contrast agent, Feridex, and/or a fluorescent tissue marker, PKH26. The viability, the proliferation efficiency and the efficacies of Feridex and/or PKH26 labeling were determined. For in vivo validation, the 13 pigs underwent endovascular balloon-mediated intimal damages of the iliofemoral arteries. The labeled or un-labeled BM cells were autotransplanted back to the same pig from which the BM cells were extracted. Approximately three weeks post-cell transplantation, 3.0T T2-weighted MRI was performed to detect Feridex-created signal voids of the transplanted BM cells in the injured iliofemoral arteries, which was confirmed by subsequent histologic correlation.
Of the in vitro study, the viability of dual-labeled BM cells was 95–98%. The proliferation efficiencies of dual-labeled BM cells were not significantly different compared to those of non-labeled cells. The efficacies of Feridex- and PKH26 labeling were 90% and 100%, respectively. Of the in vivo study, 3.0T MRI detected the auto-transplanted BM cells migrated to the injured arteries, which was confirmed by histologic examinations.
This study demonstrates the capability of using clinical 3.0T MRI to monitor the auto-transplantation of BM cells that migrate to the injured arteries of large animals, which may provide a useful MRI technique to monitor cell-based arterial repair.

Guardian 24,743 (Sat 4 Jul)/Boatman – State gallery
Posted by rightback on July 11th, 2009
Solving time: 17:30
The preamble said that this was a 'Fourth of July' offering, the manifestation of which was the appearance of the word 'state' in many of the clues, sometimes referring to an American state and sometimes not.
Some of the clues in this puzzle were extremely good, especially 8dn (POISON PEN LETTER); I was going along nicely until getting stuck in the top right where PLATE, APPLIANCE and most of all CELSIUS and WAPITI caused me trouble, along with IMMANENT at 4dn which I was surprised to find was correct. On the other hand I was confident of 11ac (ALABAMA) and 12ac (CELSIUS) but still don't understand them and would appreciate assistance.
Also, thanks very much to Eileen for having filled in for me last Saturday.
Music of the Day: Something American to fit the theme: Mach 5 by the Presidents of the United States of America.
* = anagram, "X" = sounds like 'X'.
Across | |
9 | RELIEF MAP; RELIEF (= 'rescue') + M,A,P (initial letters) – the cunningly disguised definition is 'Plan to demonstrate mountain'. Possibly this clue is a nod to the ongoing Tour de France? |
10 | PLATO; PLANT (= 'bush') + O[xygen] with [gree]N removed – another well-hidden definition. |
11 | ALABAMA – 'degrees' is presumably BA and MA, but I don't understand the rest. The clue is 'State briefly you'll reply to everyone by degrees'. |
12 | CELSIUS – is this just a cryptic definition, intending to mislead the solver into thinking of degrees of latitude and longitude? I thought there might be a homophone involved but if there is I can't see (or hear) it. |
13 | OUST (hidden) |
16 | HE + A + ROUT – the letter A as an abbreviation for 'American' is in Chambers but seems very difficult for a blocked crossword, even on a Saturday. |
17 | MACHINE; CH in MAINE |
19 | SECOND POST; (C + DESPOTS + ON)* – I liked the definition here ('Midday service abolished'). |
27 | ISRAELITE; (REALITIES)* – according to Chambers an Isrealite in the Biblical sense is a descendant of Jacob, hence 'Old Jacobean'. |
Down | |
1 | ORGANOPHOSPHATE; (GO + ON + OATH + PERHAPS)* – excellent anagram. |
2 | ALL AT SEA (2 defs) – I don't think the first part of this clue quite works; boatmen could be 'all' at sea, but could you describe a singluar boatman like that? |
3 | DE + GAS – 'state' here indicating a state of matter. |
4 | IMMANENT; "IMMINENT" – this was a very doubtful guess for me; 'immanent', from the Latin manere (meaning 'to stay') means 'dwelling within' or 'inherent', hence 'all around'. |
5 | SPACER; rev. of RECAPS |
6 | APPL(IAN + C)E – another definition cleverly concealed in a larger phrase, here 'Perhaps iron [man]'. |
7 | WAPITI; WA (= 'Washington') + PIT (= 'trap') + I (= 'Boatman', the setter) – I could only think of 'gin' to fit '-I-' and so struggled with this one. |
8 | POISON PEN LETTER; (EPISTLE TORN OPEN)* – a superb &lit. |
15 | HOBNAILED; Spoonerism of "nob hailed" – the definition here ('booted') seems dubious. As a verb, 'hobnail' can mean 'to trample with hobnailed shoes', but that's still not quite right. |
17 | MASSACRE; MASS[achusetts] + ACRE |
18 | ISOBARIC; (AS BIRO + I + C[an't])* |
20 | CHRIST; (HR + IS) in CT (= 'Connecticut') |
21 | PRECIS; [th]E[me] in (CRIPS)* |
23 | UTTER (2 defs) |

In the following essay, Haugen focuses on Odin, a central mythological figure in Eddic verse, in order to discern "the religious beliefs and practices of the Germanic tribes" he embodies.

Biomimetics may improve building materials
Reading University is hoping to reduce the impact of buildings on the environment by developing a new kind of façade that mimics biological skin.
The project, sponsored by engineering consultancy Buro Happold, will investigate how hybrid construction materials could help to regulate temperature, humidity and ventilation inside a building.
'A lot of building façades traditionally have been quite dumb,' said Dr Richard Bonser from Reading's Technologies for Sustainable Built Environments (TSBE) Centre.
'We often think of things such as glass walls in buildings. What we're trying to do is create more intelligent materials that can be a bit smarter.
'For example, with ventilation, is it possible to design a building façade that reacts to external and internal environments so you use less energy heating and cooling a building?'
The four-year project will start in October and will investigate a range of methods for reducing the impact of the buildings and making the materials more sustainable.
'One of the lines of work we'll be looking at is using biological models to try to get inspiration for new technologies, a discipline known as biomimetics,' said Bonser.
'We also want to think about how we can get combinations of materials working together in the building envelope.'
The research will also look at the possibility of transferring the technology to older buildings.
'There's great interest in retrofitting technologies to the building stock in order to improve the sustainability and prolong their useful life,' added Bonser.
The research will be carried out through the TSBE, which was established last year with a £5.6m grant from the EPSRC to offer engineering doctorate studentships.
Buildings account for around 40 per cent of the UK's carbon emissions, half of which come from non-domestic buildings, according to the Carbon Trust.
Readers' comments (3)
What a potentially revolutionary and most commendable undertaking by Buro Happold & TSBE! If possible, can our office be kept informed of further news re: Biomimetrics for buildings at our above Email address?
Thank you,
Mike MetcalfeHello Mike. Your best plan of action would be to contact Buro Happold's London offices on +44 (0)20 7927 9700 to register for updates.
I would be interested in any new developments particularly lightweight construction that can be used in Third World countries with a construction method that can be demonstrated to become a skill for the Third World recipients. I am currently involved with projects in East Timor (Timor Leste)
that would be fantastic .if possible.wish i could help with the reserch im an interior arch prof. at king faisal university maybe we could fund or participate

A class V student of Patha Bhavan at Visva-Bharati University, Shantiniketan was forced to drink her own urine as a punishment for wetting her bed, the child's parents have alleged in a complaint to the authorities on Sunday. The university has formed a four-member committee to inquire into the incident. The committee has already met once and will submit its report within a week.
According to Poonam Mistry, the student's mother, a warden of the university's Karabi hostel had given this punishment when she found that the girl had wet her bed on Saturday. Ms. Mistry said her daughter informed her of the incident over telephone.
Panel formed
"A complaint from the parents of a class V student of Patha Bhavan has been received. The university has formed a four-member fact-finding committee headed by the former dean of student's welfare," Amrit Sen, the university spokesperson told The Hindu.
The parents of the girl had tried to create trouble at the university campus, Mr. Sen alleged. University officials claimed that the enraged parents of the child attacked the warden of the university hostel.
The parents said that they had also registered a police complaint in this regard.
NCPCR steps in
The National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR) has taken cognisance of the matter. It will seek a report from the State government, member of the Commission, Vinod Kumar Tikoo said. He said he himself had tried to ascertain the facts relating to the incident.
Counsel to media
Referring to certain television channels, where the footage of the student has been shown, Mr. Tikoo urged the media to morph the child's pictures and not use her name in any report.

February 11, 2013 6:16 AM
Nathan Harden has predicted the end of universities as we know them more often, but in this article he provides a detailed account of the why and the how of their disappearance. The root cause of the demise of universities as we know them is technology, that is the Internet. Much as new technology has upset the record industry, so it will wreak havoc with traditional education, with a lowering of the price, ubiquitous access, a wide choice of courses, increased efficiency, and even increased quality. Of course, the last does not hold for the few who can afford to attend classes at an elite university, but for the many who go to "Nowhere State University". Naturally, the new model comes at a price. The college experience gets lost, interactivity in class disappears. But, "Online education is like using online dating websites—fifteen years ago it was considered a poor substitute for the real thing, even creepy; now it's ubiquitous." With the technology, new business models emerge. As with all disruptive innovation, it is not so much the technology iself, but the business model around it that does the disruption. Here it is the scalability of MOOCs, the fact that the development costs of a course may be shared by thousands or even hundreds of thousands. Although the article is long, it is well worth your while. There's one thing you should keep in mind, though: in many respects it fits the US situation only. For example, few if any European universities have a public mandate but are run as businesses like universities in the US. Also, the college bubble with students having over $20,000 debts, is not a universal phenomenon (although with the current high tuitions, the UK is rapidly heading that way). And yet, don't dismiss it because of the lack of fit. Education is going global, the venture capical-backed online platform providers such as Coursera and Udacity already see business opportunities outside the US; and if they don't see those themselves, traditional universities will tell them as they are lining up to be allowed to sell their courses and brand name through them.

A guide for anybody who wants to try out the MOOC format in nine chapters (history, use of social media, facilitating, references, to name just four) or those steeped in the MOOC format who want to contribute. To be sure, this is about the connectivist kind of MOOC (cMOOC), not the xMOOCs that stirr up all the excitement. A cMOOC is very much less about instruction and much more about networked (social, connecitivist) learning. (@pbsloep)

The Finapres 2300e finger cuff. The influence of cuff application on the accuracy of blood pressure measurement. | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 8346779 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE |
Blood pressure measurements associated with malapplication of a finger cuff were compared with contemporaneous intra-arterial pressure data in seven volunteers to determine the influence of cuff application on the accuracy of the Finapres 2300e. Systolic readings in all cuff positions differed from arterial line data by more than the recommended standard and tight and loose cuff applications under and over-read respectively, in all subjects. The results show the Finapres to be sensitive to small degrees of finger cuff malapplication which contribute to the bias on direct arterial comparison and limit the reliability of the instrument in clinical practice. |

Needed a new bench to move reloading equipment into the house from the garage. This is about as close to perfect as I could find. Solid top, pre-drilled holes not a problem and drawers are a big plus. I doubt I will use the vise but it is not in the way at all.I had to put some thought into mounting the presses (I use two RCBS Rockchuckers) to avoid drawers but that was worked out fairly easily. The big shelf underneath didn't pose any problem with my getting a chair close to the bench. I thought that it might be an issue but turned out not to be at all. Assembly was simple. I did drill a couple of additional holes for the center drawer hanger but that was no problem at all. A solid bench at a very good price.

The bench went together perfectly until it came time for inserting the drawers into the overcomplicated rails, which contain all sorts of stoppers. I followed the directions exactly--matching part numbers to the drawings. It was necessary to remove the center partition and start over after popping the drawers out of the rails. When a previous reviewer said the drawers are a pain, he wasn't kidding! The drawers also have to be wood glued at all joints--especially the bottom floors which slide open on their own. I'm tempted to remove all of the rails and will install simple wood strips for the drawers to ride on. I never write bad reviews, but have had to this time re: the drawer rails. An overall good product for the money, but be forewarned about the rails.

Good Solid Bench You'll Use From Day One
By The Woodwright
from Versailles, MO
About Me Professional
This bench literally put itself together. Just take your time, think about what you are doing and follow the instructions. This bench now occupies a place of honor in my workshop and will see much use. Have always wanted a nice woodworking bench but couldn't afford the big name outfits prices. This bench will not disappoint you. I couldn't be more satisfied.

Way better than expected
By Russ
from Orlando, FL
About Me Avid Do-It-Yourselfer
After looking at this workbench in the stores I was less than impressed, but that was only due to the employees lack of skill in assembling the table. After reading some reviews here and ending the debate if I should just build my own table, I decided to get one since %20 off brought the price down to about $136 after tax. Not too bad since I know I'd prob spend at least that much on materials to duplicate this workbench.Got it home and put it together which was extremely simple and the instructions were the best if seen from a Harbor freight product. A lot of thought went into the design and illustrations of the manual. BTW be prepared to need to drill a few pilot holes yourself as they are unexplicably missing from a few areas. No big deal though. Anyone considering buying this should be able to handle a few pilot holes.After I got it together I am amazed at how solid it really is. The top is "mostly" flat. Lengthwise it's very flat, but there's a slight crown on the width. Not enough it would hinder much of what I'm capable of, but would be off enough for a professional woodworker or cabinet maker. At some point I may try to flatten it better.Also for anyone that may be interested, it is easy to remove the bottom two drawers to get more storage space below. I have a miter saw that I wanted to fit under there but there wasn't enough room. So I removed the bottom two drawers and the cross piece going down the center length of the table. Then I cut the center divider to the height for just the top drawers and now it looks like it was made for two drawers and there's plenty of room below now. The storage space was more valuable to me than having 4 drawers but ymmv.Also you will probably want to add a little wood glue when assembling the drawers. Drawers should never be held together with screws alone.
Sharp Looking Workbench
By George S
from Lemoore, CA
Overall, I am very satisfied with this workbench. The side-mounted wood vise is a great feature. This is used as a small gunsmith bench so I quickly mounted a 5" general purpose vise in the opposite corner of the wood vise. The hard wood is more like solid wood; it was easy to drill through and my GP vise bolted in without issues. The bench assembled quickly, easily, and was able to build it up solo (it recommends an assistant). Install instructions and assembly pieces reminded me of a Swedish furniture company. The main supporting legs and bench top are solid wood (aka hard wood) and the support structure for the drawers are made of MDF/press board. The drawer faces are solid wood along with the handles. The bench was delivered to my doorstep and it was packaged well, albeit the exterior box was worse for wear. The only negative remark was the middle support structure for the drawers - the MDF was damaged and would not support the drawers. Customer support was great and quick! After I notified HF of the defect, they sent a replacement part within 10 days. I would definitely recommend this workbench for any DIY'er who would tackle small to mid-sized projects.
Very satisfied
By Bocaed

Just enough space for a homeowners tools. The vice has come in extremely handy. Assembly was easy. Have gotten compliments from my neighbors on it's good looks. Now I know where all my basic tools are without having to tear into the large box where I kept them before.
Quality in the shop
By Pawpaw
from Waleska, Ga
Bought three (3) benches, I gave two (2) away as gifts. I use this bench several times a week and love it. You cannot find a better bench for the money. Followed the instructions and all three went together with no problem. Note: you might have problems putting the bench together if you cannot tighten a loose screw in a door knob. Seriously !!!! Put three (3) together by myself. Tempted to buy myself another one, because I cannot build this quality bench for this price. It is a no brainier...BUY IT....If you. know how to tighten a loose screw .
Great additional to my shop
By Jlwatjr

This is a great work bench at a great price. Of course you can find much better ones out there but generally at a higher cost. I received it and had it put together in less than a couple of hours. Spacious drawers and a vice grip are a bonus. Nice bench.

Great bench if you follow the directions
By Ernie
from Hillsboro, OR
The bearings fell out of the first drawer I assembled because I was just looking at the pictures instead of reading the text. The other drawers went in fine after I read a note in the assembly instructions to move the sliders to the front before pushing in the drawers!For where I was going to place it, I needed the vise on the left side instead of the right. This was pretty easy to do. I just drilled a couple of holes part way into the table top so that I could place the partition in the other way and put the top on backwards.This is a sturdy bench of great quality and a great price.
